Getting to know Shilpa Shah

***Please Note: At this time, I am only accepting private pay patients or patients with out-of-network benefits. If you have out-of-network coverage through your health insurance plan, I can provide you with receipts to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.*** It can be really difficult to reach out for help when you are struggling with your emotional health, and you are taking the first step toward change. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to explore our struggles in the context of our past experiences and patterns while in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, developing more effective ways of navigating them. My philosophy is that therapy is a collaborative place for finding support in healing, developing self-awareness, and working toward your goals while meeting your needs. I utilize an eclectic approach drawing from psychodynamic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from City University of New York, Brooklyn College.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and age groups in community-based and outpatient settings informs my culturally sensitive approach to treatment. In our sessions together, we will work towards identifying your goals and meeting your needs while working on healing, developing self-awareness, and practicing self-compassion. I will provide a safe space for you to feel emotionally supported while also helping you challenge unhelpful patterns in order work towards change. I look forward to meeting you!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will provide a safe space for you to feel emotionally supported while also helping you challenge unhelpful patterns in order work towards change.

    Dr. Shah is INCREDIBLE! She's worked with me through some really tough situations and negative thoughts. I had never tried therapy before this, and now I don't think I could function without it because of her. She's taught me coping mechanisms, setting boundaries, better communication, and so much more. She's kind, knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and really cares about the well-being of her patients. I have definitely grown so much since I started seeing her and have become more hopeful with my situation because of Dr. Shah!
    Very empathetic and helpful! Highly recommend.
    Shilpa is the best therapist I’ve had. She truly listens to what I have to say and helps ground me with actionable tips on how to deal with my anxieties, fears, doubts, etc. I highly recommend her.
    Shilpa is insightful and easy to build rapport with. I truly enjoy our sessions as she provides me with new tools and tips in coping with my depression and anxiety. I truly feel comfortable sharing my struggles and past traumas with her. She is nonjudgemental and allows me to view situations from other perspectives while still acknowledging my own feelings!
    I am so happy I have found Shilpa. She has helped me work through different areas of my life: my relationship with my partner, family drama, self-confidence, and career challenges. During our sessions, I feel seen and heard. Her questions help me reflect and I come away with specific action steps to work on. I would highly recommend her.
    Shilpa is wonderful! I was highly recommended to her by my psychiatrist (who knew of her because of multiple clients she and Shilpa share.) She truly cares about her clients and how to better improve their lives in the long run. I had a tough year last year when I began seeing her and feel that I have become a stronger person because of her constant support and knowledge of mental health practices to live a happy life. Thank you always Shilpa!
    Shilpa has been very helpful with talk therapy and CBT as well as teaching me methods to check in with myself and be more mindful of my actions.
    Shilpa Shah is a great clinician. She is empathetic, easy to talk to and also provides resources to help you! I highly recommend her.
    Shilpa was my first experience with a therapist. From our sessions, she seemed very level-headed and professional. She really seemed to listen to what I said, and remembered most of the details of our conversations. She was also an active participant in our conversations, often giving me relevant questions and insights to respond to, which I definitely appreciated since I personally have some anxiety when it comes to keeping conversations going. I also had an issue that I was somewhat embarrassed to talk about. Shilpa really seemed to understand and empathize with the underlying feelings behind my issue. If you're looking for a therapist, Shilpa is definitely worth a try.
    I've been working with Shilpa for a couple of months now and she has helped me in a lot of ways. She makes it a safe space for me to share anything, and I have always felt heard and supported. She is great at providing different tools and worksheets that are very helpful.
    It’s always pleasant to speak with Shilpa. She listens and provides alternative perspectives to your thoughts. She makes you think about your preconceived notions and challenges you to broaden and open your mind. I’ve had many eye opening conversations with Shilpa. Totally recommend Shilpa if you are in need of someone to help you delve deeper into your thoughts.
    Shilpa is the best therapist I've ever had. She always gives me great feedback and really listens to the things I tell her. She always gives me a new perspective.
    If you're in the market for a therapist I STRONGLY recommend Shilpa Shah. After our bi-weekly sessions I routinely feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I settle into my days/weeks/months easier and with more presence of mind. She's able to offer keen insights into my issues all the while being kind, practical, and understanding. Can't recommend her enough.
    Having searched for the right LMHC over the past year, I found immediate comfort and openness with Shilpa. Her patient-first approach helps us to figure out the prior experiences that have potentially shaped my current situation, providing insight and developing a plan or tools to move forward. I enjoy the fluidity of our sessions and sense she is completely in my corner.
    I have enjoyed working with Shilpa over the past several months. She has a welcoming demeanor and I am comfortable speaking with her. She asks thoughtful questions and provides helpful feedback during our sessions. She also checks in on goals we set to monitor progress.
    My sessions with Shilpa have been very helpful in allowing me to process my feelings in a much more healthy manner. She is a great listener and remembers details from past sessions so I do not need to repeat myself. I always feel very comfortable when I talk to her and leave feeling very thoughtful about what we've discussed and optimistic about the rest of my week. I definitely feel like I've grown in my sessions with Shilpa and really appreciate all her help.
    Dr. Shah is the best! She is truly an active listener, and embodies every aspect of a professional therapist. She always paves way to what you have to say, and offers insight which is incredibly valuable. As a person who never went to therapy before, I’m grateful that I have Dr. Shah as my first experience.
    I really like my sessions with Shilpa, she doesn’t rush and takes time talking about different topics and is also extremely non-judgemental. We also often revisit things in other sessions.
    Shilpa is extremely attentive during our sessions, remembers key details over time and is helpful in working through issues with me. She's also patient with my thought process.
    Ms. Shah challenges me in a way that helps me confront difficult issues. She is direct but not confrontational and has insights that are clarifying for me.
    I've been seeing Shilpa for almost a year now and I look forward to our appointments every week. She is a great listener, gives fantastic advice and validates my emotions. Her thought provoking questions have helped me come to solutions on my own and identify what truly is the root of the problem. I cannot recommend her enough!!
    Shilpa has been a pleasure to work with. I look forward to our sessions. She is thoughtful and compassionate. She gives me useful and practical tools to help me improve my life. I am grateful for her expertise and support.
    Shilpa is a wonderful therapist- she always brings great perspective and is thoughtful and calm in her approach. She is very understanding and easy to work with. I would recommend her to any friend (or stranger!)
    Shipla is the best therapist I've ever had. She always gives me great feedback and really listens to the things I tell her. She always gives me a new perspective.
